Biography
In the year 2005, Kill the Apprentice began their reign of mayhem upon the local South East QLD/Northern NSW live music scene with their own unique brand of Punk Rock'n'Roll. Always causing a stir at each and every party-inducing show they play. The pace KTA set for themselves has seen some line-up changes over the years but the end of 2011 saw the most solid line-up formed to-date.
Fronted by ra
ging lead vocalist Kristy Wiese, partnered with the unmistakable guitar tones of Sid & Diklich, Tommy Creeper on drums and new addition Deano on bass, one other like minded punk around able to keep on top of some the most shredding bass runs known to the shire.
Drawing on their influences of music absorbed as wasted youths growing up on a diet of pioneering punk rock'n'roll such as the Dead Kennedys, Suicidal Tendencies, Rancid, Bad Religion, The Clash, Patti Smith, PJ Harvey, Motorhead and NOFX without forgetting the rock'n'roll roots of Australia with bands like AC/DC, The Diviynls and Rose Tattoo. Kill the Apprentice punch out a sound that is true to their roots while being passionate, honest and full of energy. Something fresh, in a live music scene so drenched in waves of safe and mediocre de-tuned break-downs. Kill the Apprentice can now lay claim to being the devil's pride of their stomping grounds of the southern Gold Coast.
For 2012, KTA has vowed to move up a gear with new releases and pending tours at home and abroad already on the horizon. Their foot now firmly pressed against your throat and not letting up anytime soon.
The show is intense, the music is raw and the blood thickens in the air when Kill The Apprentice are on stage.
So prepare yourselves for the KTA experience!
